  • Surgeon-General Sir William Taylor, K.C.B., Late Director-General, Army Medical Service, Which Took Place at Windsor on the 10Th April
    Surgeon-General Sir WILLIAM TAYLOK, K.C.B., M.D.Glasg., Late Director-General Army Medical Service. We regret to announce the death of Surgeon-General Sir William Taylor, K.C.B., late Director-General, Army Medical Service, which took place at Windsor on the 10th April. Sir William Taylor was the third son of the late James Taylor of Etruria, Staffordshire, and of Moorfield, Ayrshire, where he was born in 1843. He received his early education at Carmichael, in the Upper Ward of Lanarkshire, whence he went to the University of Glasgow for the study of medicine, receiving its degrees of M.D. and C.M. in 1864. In the same year he obtained a commission as assistant surgeon in the Army Medical De- partment, and from 1865 to 1869 he served in Canada, where he took part in the operations against the Fenian raiders, and received the medal. In 1870, after his return to England, he Obituary. 293 was gazetted to the Royal Artillery, and three years later he went to India, where in 1877 he took part in the Jowaki Afridi expedition, for which he received the medal. He left India in 1880 for a brief period of service in England, but returned in 1882, and in 1885 was appointed surgeon to Sir Frederick Roberts, then Commander-in-Chief in India. He served through the Burma campaign of 1885-86 on the staff of the Commander- in-Chief, and was mentioned in dispatches. In 1888 he served with the Hazara Expedition, and in 1888-89 he again served in the Burmese campaign.

    The Victoria Cross Garden The Story of the Anglo/Boer War Memorial erected in the Victoria Cross Garden, Cheswick Green Will you come with me in silent thought to the battlefields of South Africa, to the lonely graves scattered over the veldt, and to the thousands of those who had died of wounds, disease and sickness since that Great Adventure. John W Pettinger January 2019 The Mysterious Stones Those people who have lived in Cheswick Green since the new Village was built in the 1970s have been aware of a tall column standing in the garden of 194 Creynolds Lane, on the corner of Cheswick Way. A fascinating and mysterious feature. Living in this Village, with its many odd features and origins, has stirred in many of its inhabitants a desire to understand more of its history. The author has some understanding of its origins and some of its odd features. Having relatives who were brought up and lived on the old Mount Estate, and who as children were discouraged from playing in the area around the column. It was regarded as a special, almost sacred place and not a place for playing! But what was its significance, and why was it regarded as special? There exists an old pamphlet from the early 1900s, advertising the features and attractions of the Pleasure Grounds that existed in Cheswick at that time. This document contains a reference to a ‘Victoria Cross Garden’. VICTORIA CROSS GARDEN. This is another object of interest commemorating the South African War, and especially the bravery of the Warwickshire men who were engaged.

  • The Victoria Cross Garden
    The Victoria Cross Garden The Story of the Anglo/Boer War Memorial erected in the Victoria Cross Garden, Cheswick Green Will you come with me in silent thought to the battlefields of South Africa, to the lonely graves scattered over the veldt, and to the thousands of those who had died of wounds, disease and sickness since that Great Adventure. John W Pettinger July 2017 The Significance of the Stones – A Boer War Memorial In the early Spring of 2011 a planning application relating to 194 Creynolds Lane was noted. It was realised that this site was once called The Victoria Cross Garden – a feature of the Mount Pleasure Grounds of the early 1900s, and that remnants of that garden were still on the site. This fact was not generally known. I brought the matter to the attention of the Cheswick Green Parish Council and urged it to attempt to secure any remaining artefacts for the future: suggesting that any such remains could be re-installed at some suitable location within the Village to form an historical feature, preserving our heritage and above all continuing to honour the men to whom it was erected originally – those men of Warwickshire who were engaged in the South African Wars. Site History Those people who have lived in Cheswick Green since the new Village was built in the 1970s have been aware of a tall column standing in the garden of 194 Creynolds Lane, on the corner of Cheswick Way. A fascinating and mysterious feature: it had once been a part of the Pleasure Grounds that Philip Baker had created on the Mount Estate in the early 1900s.
